The Quality Of Tobacco.

In conversation with one of the principal
cigar dealers in the city the other day !
learned several things which occasioned me
no little surprise. My informant, who is q
man of close observation, told me that there
was very general tendency among smokers
to economic. Those who used to pay twenty
five cents apiece for their cigars now pur-
chased two for that sum and those who used
to be contented to get two for quarter now
wanted three. He explained that it was not
by any means on account of an improvement
in the quality of tobacco used that this change
had been brought about. On the contrary,
never in his recollection had the crop Of the
weed been of poorer nature than during the
past four or five years.
why" he said, II can remember well the
time when sold better cigar for ten cents
than now sell for a quarter. That was not
before the war either. In ante bellum days
three good, really good, cigars were retailed
for ten cents"
"How about pipe smoking?"
at is increasing all the time Until a few
years ago it was not worth my while to keep
pipes in stock-nobody wanted them. Now,
you see have a large assortment suppose
the habit comes from the other side, where
pipe smoking in the street as we'll as the
house is the rule and not the exception.
There is not much money in the trade and
still less in the selling of cigarettes Brook

Initiation of q Medicine Man,

As the profession of medicine man carries
with 1t autocratic powers such as even chief
tainship does not bring, it is the object of the
highest aspirations of the young brave. As q
rule, women are excluded from the privileges
of this class. but occasionally one attains to
such a rank by virtue OF some extraordinary
gift. Except in rare instances, admission into
the profession requires more or les ex-
tended novitiate or apprenticeship. To be
come an assistant even requires considerable
effort and expense on the part of the candi

There Is No Pure Wine,

There is always complaint here of lack Of
pure WINE, and we often see announcements
of wine absolutely pure, intended for invalids.
The only pure wine, really such, is that which
comes from the press. 1t cannot be kept with
out fertilization; If it were SO kept, it would
be nauseating and perilous to swallow. When
persons speak of pure wine they mean honest
wine, that which is not handled and manipu-
lated more than is proper for preservation
and completeness. "Purity" is a conven-
tional term, not meaning what it signifies,
very much like natural applied to persons,
who, if actually natural, would be unendur-
able. Rare knowledge of chemistry is neces-
sary in wine making, and such knowledge is
brought to bear most successfully on corrup-
lions and limitations. These increase every
year, and it seems asif the time would now
come when it would be impossible to distin-
guish between the genuine and the false
Even now those claiming to be the best
judges are often shams, though they may de-
ceive themselves as much as they deceive
Others Most men who have means, and like
to live well, have weakness to be thought
connoisseurs of wine. They will sip it, purse
up the mouth, roll the eyes, look very wise
and pronounce an opinion based wholly on
conceit or pretense. Very few, indeed, ex-
cept professional tasters, can discriminate
between wines The mass Of people who
claim to be confident of their ability to deter
mine the incest shades of difference are hum
bugs, though they can never be brought to
confess it. Dealers can assume almost any,
thing for their wines, with slight prospect of
detection. They are perfectly conscious Of
this, and depend for their patronage on the
ignorance of the public, totally unacquainted
with the manifold mysteries of the trade

CALLED A TOWN MEETING

The next day the strangers called town
meeting and announced their intention of Or
ganizing a stock company for the purpose of
enterprises on hand, and as they would be
away much of the time, they would like to
have some interested parties on the ground.
They would want superintendent at good
salary, and they would have to have an office
where they could mature plans to distribute
the gas all over western Kansas and eastern
Colorado MIR. Kenyon, the banker, was
elected superintendent at a salary of s., 900 a
year, and a fine room in his building was
rented as an office. 1t was in this place that
the stock was subscribed for
The terms were made easy enough to suit
almost anybody. The capital stock was to
be 100000, and any man or woman who
could put up 10 per cent. was entitled to what
was wanted. Even the preacher came in for
$1,000, his parishioners putting up the margin
for him on the ground that when the Lords
bounty bad been literally bestowed upon the
town it would not be right to permit his
chief servant to suffer through his poverty
The banker also advanced considerable
money for the weak sisters who had no ready
money, taking mortgages on their farms or
stock. In this way $4,000 worth of stock
was taken in one day. The discoveries posi-
lively refused to sell more than this, as they
said they always made it point to retain a
controlling interest in all property that they
developed. This appeared reasonable, and
no complaints were made.

THE STATE OF SONoEA.
A Scouts Visit to Strange Cities-Raids
of the Chiricahuas.

Sitting in an Ell Paso hotel William III. Ed
wardy, who was chief of scouts under Law
| ton in the last Apache campaign. told some
interesting things about that 5000 miles
march. In one sense the pursuit of Geronimo
was an exploration of Sonora, the north
western corner of Mexico, in which Ameri-
cans are just now more interested, probably,
than in any other portion Of the sister repub-
lie. Undeveloped and prospected only in
part, Sonora is known to be one Of the richest
of Mexican states in precious minerals. Fur
Their than this, it is the great unoccupied
grazing region. After the Apache campaign
closed last summer Gen. Miles sent party Of
engineers and scouts, including Edwardy,
down through Sonora, and there was col
lected g great deal of data In official form
about the terra incognita, none of which has
yet been made public.
Said the scout: ave visited cities in Sonora
where no white man had been before in 100
years Nobody can tell what those people
have suffered at the hands of the Chiricahuas.
The losses of life and property in Arizona and
Mexico could be multiplied many times with
out approaching the long record the Next
cans of Sonora have against the tribe.
sonora is the best hiding place in the
southwest for the Indians" continued the
scout. "The valleys are narrow, but wooded.
The mountains are covered with timber.
Grass grows every where; and yet it is q coun-
try to great extent uninhabited. Even the
maps are away off in their location Of cities
and rivers. So long as the Chiricahuas were
at large there were good reasons for Sonora
being unoccupied We visited the ruins Of
cities which these Indians had forced the
Mexcans to abandon after years of terror
izing Between Nacori and the Arcs river,
in northwestern Sonora, there is one of those
abandoned cities From the extent Of the
ruins, l should say this must have been
place of 10000 or 5000 people. The old
church, still standing, would accommodate
at least 500. The Nacori people called this
Iglesia Vlego, and told us that nothing else
caused the people to give up but the repeated
raids of the Chiricahuas. These Indians
would make sudden descent from the noun
tain hiding places upon the town, and lie
around the outskirts Of it, killing people and
stock for month at time. Then they
would go off and be away until the inhab-
itants began to feel a little secure, when they
would come down again on another murder
ing mission. This city has been abandoned
many years-long enough for the woodwork
to become rotted. The Nacori people also
suffered, though not so much, because their
town was walled in, but they said they had
been besieged many times. "-Paso del Norte

FOUND A GAS WELL.
THE HISTORY OF A REAL ESTATE
BOOM IN KANSAS.

Several Well Dressed strangers Visit the
Town of GreelcyyiIle-The Results to
the Resident PopuIation-A Discovery
and a Collapse.
There was general stiffening OF prices
and patient determination to wait and see
what the future would bring forth. The peo-
pie of Greeleyville were in this frame of mind
when several well dressed strangers arrived
in town about two weeks ago and began to
inquire about the value of certain real estate.
Nothing serious was suspected at first, but in
the course of few days it was seen that
they meant business. Jim Bones farm, south
of town, which might have been had month
ago for $500, was sold to the strangers for
s., 500, and they paid $500 of it down. Prices
went up right away, and when Jim tried to
buy another place he found that he couldn't
reach anything within ten miles of the Jail
unless he borrowed money. The day after
the sale the strangers announced that they
bad discovered natural gas on the Bones
place, and, sure enough, that night the skies
in that direction were brilliantly Illuminated
The entire population turned out to see the
sight Just back of the shed which Jim had

the nozzle of it there issued Hfaring and
spluttering flame. Everybody stood speech
less except Jim, who raved and swore, and
tried to pick fight with one of the visitors
Other citizens interfered at this point, and
was prevented.
"You see," said one of the strangers, 1--WE

there, we found that we were ON the same
property that belonged to a minor heir, and
we could not get possession. Then we set out
for the west, for we knew that 1t would reap
pear somewhere out here. There were symp-
toms in Missouri, and better prospects yet at

don't work just right yet, though. We will

is down below you here when tell you that

depth you can find gas enough here to illumi-

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.

A few days later the strangers announced
that they would start for the east last Satur-
day for the purpose of securing the proper
machinery. Before they left they gave sew
eral exhibitions of the power of the gas,
generally at night. They had stop on the
pipe, and when that was opened and a match
applied the flame blew up about two feet
and gave the greatest satisfaction A watch
man was hired to guard the well, and when
the gentlemen came to leave committee of
citizens escorted them to the railroad and
wished them successful trip and speedy
return. Sunday the entire town visited the
well and many attempts to experiment with
it were made. Lum Huddleston, the watch
man, warned the crowd away repeatedly,
and at length was constrained to strike q
man who persisted in meddling with the stop
cock The fellow was from the northern
part of the county, and he had been in the
habit of doing about as he wanted to. When
Lum hit him, therefore, he hit back, and be-
fore anybody could stop it there was fight,
in the course of which Lum was thrown
heavily against the pipe, and the whole thing
came up by the roots About four feet under
the surface, and attached to the upright pipe,
was gasoline reservoir, and that was all.
The panic that fell on the town was IN
describable. Every face blanched. Some
one said in the presence of the preacher that
it was nothing but id cook stove, and he
was not rebuked for the utterance The
banker went back to his Office and put up
card announcing that he had suspended for
ten days in order TO examine his books. The
farmers who mortgaged their farms to him
held meeting and agreed that if he took
step toward foreclosure they would kill him.
